CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Strategy was first used in England in (1956) derive from the Greek word strategies which derives from two word; stratus (Army) and Agein (Ancient Greek for leading). Strategies referred to a military commander during the age of Athenian Democracy. A strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. Strategy is also basically concerned with the long term direction and scope of an organization; it is also crucially concerned with how the organization positions itself with regards to the environment and to the competitors in particular. It’s concerned with establishing competitive advantage, ideally sustainable overtime, not by technical maneuvering, but by taking an overall long term perspective. Strategy management is the ongoing process of specifying the organization objective, developing plan to achieve these objective and allocating resources to implement the policies and plan to achieve the organizations objective. Human resource management refers to a set of people oriented functions or activities that involve the effective acquisition, use and the maintenance of human resources within an organization.

However, strategic human resource management (SHRM) is a strategic approach to manage human resources of an organization compared with the traditional human resource management. Practices strategic human resource management is considered a relatively "new concept" despite its continuous development over the past two decades. Although there is still no consensus on an exact definition of based and broad agreement reached on its basic function which involves designing and implementing a set of internally consistent policies and practices that ensure that the human capital of a firm contributes to the achievement of its business objectives.

Also, most firm do not practice strategies human resources, do not respond to the external environment through a better employment of human resources, and since the strategy of firms is a reflection of its response to the competitive external changes, a human capital pool with a broad way of skills that are compatible with the corporate strategy is a catalyst for fulfilling the strategic goals through promoting behavoural utility among employees.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
